Tag: to all the boys I’ve loved before

This is the second book from the ‘To all the boys I’ve loved before’ series. And although I liked the first one better, you should still try this one out. If you haven’t read the first one, don’t continue reading this post! I’ve warned you… there will be spoilers.

You still read about Lara Jean who at the end of the first book wrote another love letter to Peter Kavinsky explaining that she really liked him, for real this time. She wants their relationship to be real and not fake. The second book starts of with her actually debating when she is going to give the letter to Peter. When she finally has found the courage to go to his house, she chickens out and decides not to give the letter. Fortunately, peter sees the letter in her pocket and grabs it before Lara Jean can stop him. He reads the letter and they can be happy and in love, right? RIGHT?

The writer likes to make you think in the beginning of the book that everything is a ray of sunshine and then BAM, crisis. One of the guys Lara Jean wrote a letter to, but hadn’t heard from yet, suddenly comes in the picture. It’s the guy she liked during the same time she first liked Peter. When peter starts to hang around Genevieve again, Lara Jean gets jealous and doesn’t know what to think about it. Peter says Genevieve has family problems and needs him. Nothing more then that. Lara Jean is in a situation where she loves Peter, but he seems to have his priorities elsewhere and there is that guy she wrote a letter who now is so nice to her and grew up very handsome. When he kisses her will she kiss back, or will she think about Peter? And what will Peter do when he finds out?

It seems like a lot of drama, doesn’t it? Well, it is. But a nice kind of drama. The kind that makes you want to continue reading. Because, the book is written very simple, it is very easy to get through. Which I loved. You can just sit back and fully enjoy the book. Without having to pay a lot of attention to it.
just like the first one I read the book in one go. It’s that good. Even when the first one was better. I would definitely recommend reading it.

If you have already read it, let me know what you thought about it! I love to hear other people’s opinions on books. Or if you know about books that are the same kind of theme please let me know! I’ve been looking for teen romance books for a while now, but I just can’t seem to find good ones.

Like this:

This book has been around for a couple of years. Since 2014 to be exact. Because of the release of the film on Netflix, there has been a new trend around this book. All readers want to read it. So, did I!
I have to say, I was not disappointed. It is a good book and I won’t forgive myself for not finding it sooner. Most of you will have seen the film on Netflix and the book is not that different. I am still going to tell what it’s about.
Lara Jean is a girl in high school she has two sisters, she is the middle child, and a dad. Her mom passed away when she was little. Her neighbour, Josh, is a cute boy who she used to have a crush on. But when her older sister started dating him, she new she couldn’t like him anymore. Lara Jean wrote him a love letter to explain her feelings. To her it was more a goodbye note to release the feelings he had for him. She addressed the note but never sent it. In total she wrote five of those letters. Each to another cute boy she had a crush on. The latest one being Peter Kavinsky.

Somehow her letters get send out to all those boys. Peter K goes to Lara Jean to explain he doesn’t feel the same. But when Josh gets his letter, problems arise. Her sister can not know about the crush she had/has for Josh. So, she did what anyone would do. Right? She full on kisses Peter K in the middle of the school’s hallway. Her idea behind this? To make Josh think she is over him. Peter, who recently broke-up with his girlfriend Genevieve, was a little weirded out by this. But, after thinking about it and after hearing what Gen thought about the kiss, he comes up with a plan. He and Lara Jean will pretend to be boyfriend and girlfriend. Peter can make Gen jealous so they can get back together. Lara Jean can make Josh believe she does not like him anymore. Nothing can go wrong with that, right? RIGHT?

Well, a lot of things go wrong but those are the fun parts to read. So, if you haven’t seen the film, I am not going to spoil anything. If you’ve seen it you know what I am talking about. Even if you have seen the film, there is more going on in the books for sure!

Maybe even a kiss between Josh and Lara Jean. Maybe. I don’t know…. Maybe not. You should read the book to find out 🙂

The book itself is very easy to read. I read it in a couple of hours. Without pausing. In one sitting. Because it’s that good.

No, but for real, the book is very sweet and funny to read. Lara Jean has a nice, funny and cute personality. She get’s herself in all kinds of situations she does not want to be in. Her reactions are enjoyable to read. It’s one of those books you don’t have to take the time for or keep your focus. Just sit and read and it will be okay. I love those books.
